Shane the guide was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. He showed us areas we never would have found on our own.

An amazing ride!

John was an amazing driver/storyteller. He kept us entertained the entire time. Even with the cold rain John supplied blankets on our ride to keep us dry.

The pedicab was an excellent way to see Victoria Shain was an amazing guide. He brought Victoria to life with stories of historic residents and how his family fit in. We were fascinated and enjoyed every minute. I strongly recommend this tour.

Ashley and the pedicab tour

Donna_K, Jun 2022
Ashley was so personable and accommodating despite the fact it was pouring rain. We felt bad because she was soaking wet. The stories she told us about Canada’s history we’re so entertaining. We absolutely loved Ashley!

Best ever

Donald_M, Aug 2019
Best tour my wife and I have had. Sean was so knowledgeable . He knew the City of Victoria like the back of his hand. Very entertaining. Learned a lot about the people and places in the city. The best was the History and how he brought it alive. Would recommend the pedicab tour anyone, they would have a great time. The pace was great and we had time to walk to some of sites. Enjoyed it the best of what we did in Victoria. Do it again

great guide

Lots of questions answered, both cultural and historical. Neat opportunity to explore the inner world of the alleys.

Thomas K, Jul 2016
Be sure to specify a time when you BOOK this trip! Our pedicab showed up at 8 a.m. and we had to re-negotiate to take a later trip. That being said, it is a really fun trip and the drivers pedalers? know lots of interesting and fun facts about the city and especially Chinatown. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

Better than taking the train- scenery...

Better than taking the train- scenery, cemetery, water falls and baby bear!

A great experience. The ship...

Sandra_T, Jul 2013
A great experience. The ship arrived late in the day, so we missed China Town. But the guides made up for it with a good time at the park and showing some historical houses and buildings then taking us to shop downtown.
